THE. GARDEN where Jack planted hi: famous

« beanstalk has never been identified, but a likely °

candidate for the honor is a plot in the 4900 block on Park ave. In fact, R, E. Hancock, who grows tomato vines nearly seven feet fall in the rear of his home at 4926, isn't to im) with the beanstalk tale anyway. Mr. Hancock, who's not adverse to boasting about his crop, might admit that the beanstalk could have been a little taller, but after all, his vines are still growing. What's more, his vines have as many as 39 tomatoes on one vine and does anyone ever remember hearing about any beans’ on that beanstalk? , , , The tall vines provide material for a lot of tall tales at the Standard Oil Co, where Mr. Hancock works. All his co-workers have'heard his stories of having to use telegraph poles for stakes and similar exaggerations. They once gat together and offered to lend him an extension ladder when pickingtime comes. ‘The reason his co-workers are so skeptical is that the house has been occupied by different Standard Oil personnel for at least 20 years and Mr, Hancock's the first person to have gardening success. We wouldn't think of getting in%o the affray except to say that we inspected some of the vines which were mighty near the six-foot-six~inch mark. What's more, we got our information from Mrs, Han cock, who admits her husband's stories to “the boys” may sometimes bridge the truth. , . . Another gardener in the reighborhood, John Robert Sharp, of 4931,

.saild he thought he had tomatoes until he saw the

Hancock garden. However, he’s just as proud of an 18-inch, two and one-half pound bass he caught in Sugar creek as Gardener Hancock is of his skyward bound plants.

Nobody Home But the Cats MRS. H. B. THOMAS, of 4935, was too busy entertaining out of town visitors to chat long. We were quite surprised when her visitor turned out to be from our home town, the wife of our old school superintendent. She was Mrs. Albert Day, of Marion, Ind, Mrs. Thomas’ sister. Other visitors were Mr. and Mrs, Victor Day, of Marion, Mrs. Thomas’ nephew and wife , , . We wandered up on a vorch a couple’ of houses down the street and noticed a tawny cat on the settee. As we rang the bell the eat stirred and we saw it was really two cats, lying close together. While we waited, a movement in a chair caught our eye— a gray cat moved over to make room for another tawny feline. By that time we were expecting anything so we weren't too surprised to look at another settee and see a black and white cat curled up. As we gave up and decided there was nobody home but the cats we saw one more, curled up back of a flower pot and as we started down tfe steps a light colored kitten peeked curiously rom under a chair. We still don't know if the residents like cats or if their pet called in all her friends while the folks were away. . . . One of the block's better known residents is Andrew Jacobs,’ colorful Indianapolis attorney whose wide sombreros and bow ties are a trademark. Mrs. Jacobs was busy getting ready for a Wisconsin vacation trip. The neighbors already had told me that the Jacobs residence was the second home of the friends of the three Jacobs children so we weren't surprised to hear that the Jacobses are taking four or five other children along with their own on vacation. . :

Red Ryder Ranch

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 1—I phoned Fred Harman from here and the creator of the famous comic-strip cowboy told me how to get out to his Red Ryder ranch. “Drive 10 miles out the Chama Road,” he said, “and you'll see a sign that points to the left saying Blanco Basin Road. Turn up that road, come eight miles and you'll be right at my cabin. I'm almost at the end of the road.” ho Fred was walking down the short trail from his cabin to the road when we arrived—a six-foot, lean, sandy-haired, middle-aged fellow with a little mustache. He was wearing cowboy boots, faded jeans, flannel shirt, 10-gallon hat. He greeted us with a big smile, and rode on the

- running board up to the cabin on the side of a slope

looking up at the tall San Juan range and the Continental Divide a short distance to the east. Down in the bottom were the San Juan and Navajo rivers. Over to our left was queer, lofty old SquareTop mountain looking like God's footstool. Lola, Fred's attractive auburn-haired wife, came down a trail above the cabin, her arms full of wild flowers. She was wearing sandals, blue slacks, a Red Ryder jacket, silver earrings and an Indian bracelet with a big blue stone. She, too, gave us a nice welcome in her soft-spoken way. We stood for a while admiring their cabin. It is a one-story building with a high roof, and with a twostory hump at one end, made of stone and logs. Fred still works on the house when he can find time. He has about 1000 acres.

Cattle Brands Cover Piano WE STEPPED into a medium-sized living room of the main house with an open-beamed ceiling, log rafters and a huge stone fireplace. Home-made chairs and settees, covered with cowhides, were here and there. Fred had made them. On the walls, tables and posts were wood carvings, horse shoes, a guitar, action drawings of Red Ryder and his protege, Little Beaver,

Aviation

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—~What can you do—and see —during a two-weeks’ vacation to South America by air? Suppose you are boarding a Pan American World Airways’ 55-passenger DC-4 at La Guardia field, New York, all set to go places and see things. Your first stop, straight down over the Atlantic, is San Juan, Puerto Rico, then Port of Spain, Trinidad, but you keep on going, South America-bent. You have arranged to stop overnight in Belem, Brazilian port of entry. Shortly after you experience your first thrill “ot crossing the equator, the big plane glides smoothly to a landing at Belem. You have your temperature taken and your passport examined, then taxi into the Grand hotel, a European-type hostelry with a broad sidewalk cafe. It is hot—and humid, but you do not mind as you sip cooling drinks, énjoy a good meal and start sightseeing, It will include one of the most beautiful cathedrals you have ever entered—its art work mostly made up of tiny pieces of gold and colored stones and metal—something the largest city in the world could be proud to possess.

Get Launch Trip at Rio AFTER EARLY morning takeoff and flight ofer dense Brazilian jungle, you leave the plane at Rio de Janeiro’s military airport. Boarding a launch you enjoy a 45-minute water trip through Rio's tremendous harbor. You can easily imagine, as you pass huge freighters, tugs and ferryboats, that you are crossing New York harbor. Only the skyline is missing, as Rio's skyline is topped by towering mountain peaks. Atop one is a huge statue of Christ looking down on Rio and you can visit it, after a long motor trip up and around the mountain.

She was Mrs. Price Howard, of 4915, whose hobby is gardening. Mrs. Howard won't enter into competition in the tomato field, but she is proud of a raspberry patch, where she picked from six to eight pints a day last month, The neighbors told us Mrs. Howard is one of the block's good Samaritans, keeping track of illnesses and welcoming newcomers to the Block.

Snowed Under in Winter _ MRS. HARMAN drives to town every day and mails the Red Ryder strip, which is printed by 685 daily and Sunday papers, including The Indianapolis Times. Late ‘in October, after Fred gets in a little fall

hunting, the Harmans go to their winter camp—their|

home at Douglaston, N. Y. Fred also has a studio in New York but he prefers to work at home. He likes New York in winter because the ranch, which is at an altitude of 8500 feet, is snowed under: Red Ryder, played by Bill Elliott, appears in fea-ture-length movies, and Red also is on the radio. And the Red Ryder monthly comic magazine, mostly reprints of the strips, sells more than 1,000,000 copies. Mr. Harman created his famous cowboy in 1938. Little Beaver is a holdover from a previous strip, Bronc Peeler ‘and Little Beaver, which. Pred used to syndicate himself.

Your program in Rio will depend upon your desires, Excellent bathing and food at Copacabana Palace hotel, a tour up and down hills and mountains for different views of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, a 50-mile trip through -beautiful countryside to the top of a mountain in Petropolis. There you are thrilled as you tour the former great “Monte Carlo of Brazil,” the Hotel Quitandinha. Here you may swim in a luxurious glassinclosed pool just off the lobby, pedal the small pad-dle-boats in the lagoon, enjoy horseback rides about the mountain,

Montevideo Is Beautiful NEXT STOP is Montevideo, Uruguay, a beautiful resort city, where the Argentinians spend their vaca-tion-time. Hotels are ultra modern. Here you play tennis, swim and tour the city. And, finally, after an hour's hop over land and water, you reach Buenos Aires, with a population of 2,614,490, Argentina's great and glittering capital city. It is cool here and you'll want topcoat and muffler,

Pedestrian traffic is fast—like in New York. Small!

streetcars fairly brush your sleeves as they slide past, inches from the curbs. Golf, tennis, horse racing, polo, football (soccer) on a big scale, boxing and wrestling, fishing of all sorts, rowing and yachting are among the outdoor amusements you may enjoy. And, again, shopping will entice you, especially. in that leather goods—alligator purses, bags and the like—can be obtained at about one-fourth U. 8. prices. You will have spent nearly 10 days on the ground, 38 hpurs en route. As you leave Buenos Aires you may plan on RQeing back home, 6000 miles away, within another 38 hours. And you will have seen and enjoyed plenty.

This food is good, and I think it might serve as a basis for a satisfactory diet and be a great benefit in areas where it is difficult to ship and distribute supplies, . Mr, Clinton started his restaurant business in the early depression years and ‘made up his mind that no one, even if he could not pay, would be turned away hungry! So he developed a 5-cent meal, and anyone who did not have the 5 cents could obtain the meal free. In his laboratory, this food product has undergone many changes since those days!® He is hoping to collaborate with relief agencies everywhere. I can see that this might come to be a basic food used to great advantage for such things as our school-lunch program. He has formed a corporation called “Meals for Millions Foundation.” It is organized for humanitarian purposes and will not be Spstatal i for profit,

By HEZE CLARK THIS IS A typical police story of | the bootleg gang era. Like so many episodes of that violent period, it was brief and uninvolved:

time and space . . . deadly silemce.| As usual, the silence prevailed. | As usual, the underworld kept its |

ular revelations. Just a dead man. But a lot of people died in that same pattern between 1921 and 1933. The night of Tuesday, April 23, 1929, was scented with spring. Several recent rains, coupled with a long warm spell, had speckled trees with tiny green buds. <The crash hadn't hit yet and speakeasies all over town were doing a land-office business. The movies were boorhing, too, having just installed a new attraction—talking pictures. At the Palace Mary Pickford’s voice was heard by her admiring fans for the first time in “Coquette.” » u ~ THERE WAS NO such entertainment at City hospital that: night. Switchboard Operator Robert KinA red light

plugged ' in the earphones. Then he sat up straight. “Hey,” a voice rasped, “there's a

guy injured in a car right outside the hospital.” A sharp click at the other end of the line told Mr. Kinneman that was all the information he could expect, Mr. Kinneman buzzed the physicians’ room, left his post 4nd dashed out the front door. At the Locke st. entrance to City hospital he found a parked 1928 Cadillac. A youth with a close-cropped haircut was slumped in the rear seat. He was breathing heavily. Two internes rushed to Mr. Kinneman's assistance. They carried the limp, unconscious form into the emergency ward, n » s BLOOD STREAKED from au ugly wound in the youth's head. { Around the edge of the hole, some | blood had already caked. Attend{ants who bathed and dressed the wound thought at first it was inflicted by the traditional “blunt instrument.” Cynical detectives stood by patiently, unmoved, almost breathing | down the necks of physicians “and | nurses. The detectives had a few |

| routine questions to ask. But their

tim never answered any questions. In fact he never talked at all any more. He slipped into the “big sleep” at 2:30 a. m, It wasn’t until Coroner C. H. Keever examined the body in the autopsy room that the lethal weapon was determined. The coroner found &-bullet embedded at the base of the dead man’s skull. Jt had entered the brain from.the side and {by a freak quirk, had ricocheted around inside of the skull instead of penetrating it.

According to The Times of April 24, 1929, detectives traced “two known gangs of bootleggers and rum-runners.” They felt sure this was another battle in the everlasting liquor war. Sleuths quizzed members of a south side gang with which Lewis was believed to have been connected. They learned he had switched his allegiance, allegedly, to'a group hanging out in the 900 block of N. Illinois st.

investigations a known pal of Lewis was picked up and taken $o head- | quarters. Police talked it over with (him. When he refused to divulge {anything worthwhile, they talked {it over with him a little more | emphatically. The pal still declined to budge, conversationally, so police | placed him in solitary confinement lin the county jail to try to thaw him out. As it turned out, this suspect, a 31-year-old resident of N. Capitol ave. didn’t talk because he didn’t know anything. He was a cold mackerel but police thought he was a hot tamale. Lewis was unmarried. His mother had last seen him at 3 p, m. the previous afternoon. He had come home with a heavyset man and a child, .neither of whom she recognized, then left without giving her any hint as to his destination. Meanwhile police traced the license on the Cadillac car in which Lewis was found to a George McHenry, formerly of the 1900 block S. Meridian st., also a known friend of the dead man. McHenry had been arrested 14 times here and once in Detroit, mostly on liquor charges.

‘Mobilization of 6,000,000 Votes Planned by CIO

NEW YORK, Aug. 1 (U, Pl Plans to mobilize 6,000,000 C. I. O, votes behind liberal candidates from both major political parties in the coming fall elections were announced today, after the first meeting of the C. I. O. Political Action Committee's new governing board. A $6,000,000 campaign fund, obe tained by $1 contributions from every C. I. O. union ber, will be sought in a nation-wide drive. Jack Kroll, new director of the P. A. C. since the death of Sidney Hillman, said there was no possie bility of P. A. C. support of a new third party. “We will continue to function within the framework of the twa major political parties,” Mr, Kroll said. The records of all congressional candidates have been compiled by the P. A. C. and will be mailed to locals throughout the country. Dee cisions as to what candidates ta support will be left up to the indie vidual C. I. O. locals, the P. A. C, director said. Le POLITICAL mobilization meets ings will be called by the P. A. O, in 45 cities during August. The governing board will meet every two weeks uriil the elections have been held, according to Mr. Kroll. “A lot of old faces will be missing at the next session of congress—few will be regretted,” he said. The P. A. C. board assailed the new OPA law as “a patch quilt law" drawn up by congressmen “who were deaf to the needs of the peopla

mad representatives of big busie ness,” » ” . THE P. A. C. director sald he was pleased with the results obtained by the C. 1. O. in recent primaries. He particularly mentioned the Alabama primary in which C. I, O.-backed John Sparkman led the field in the Democratic nomination for U. 8, senator, “The need for the election of a more progressive congress—a Cone gress dedicated to safeguarding the well being of the people—is now being dramatically presented to the American public,” a statement by the board said.

But several years after the Lewis slaying, another man was killed on the Rockville rd, in a hijacking foray. Iwas sitting in the police headquarters press room that morning when my phone rang. A voice said: “Heze, you know that guy who was shot on the Rockville rd. last night? Well, that's the guy that killed Lewis.” Click went the receiver at the other end.

SUMMER skin troubles develop from excessive sun and wind exposure, especially of those parts of the body which are ordinarily covered by clothing. The summer sun is more apt to injure the skin because of the absence of protective particles of dust and smoke which partially obstruct the rays in the colder months, The skin is protected from injury by the thick outer layer and by its coloring matter (pigment). Persons who live in the. tropics develop a dep tan from the irritating effect of ultra-violet rays upon the skin, and this in turn protects them against sunburn “in ordinary exposures.

We, The Wome

Independent Wives Are a Male Blessing

By RUTH MILLETT ACCORDING to one of those surveys, of which we have so many on such varied subjects, American coeds rate men third in major life-interests. That's probably what the men who came back from overseas praise ing the girls of foreign countries were indignant about when they complained that American girls suffered by comparison with English girls, Australian girls, French girls, ete.

. ~ . THE AMERICAN girl has too many other interests to spend her life building up the féeling of self= importance enjoyed by men. Perhaps before marriage the ine dependent spirit does appear to be a shortcoming in American girls, For that same spirit which prompts them to rate a couple of other interests ahead of men also causes them to go about in jeans and flapping shirt-tails despite bitter masculine protest. And it gives them, too, the courage to be ithem=selves instead of trying to be feminine ideals. \ - " » ! BUT AFTER marriage the indee pendent spirit should prove a blessing. For the girl who rates men as her major life-interest will continue to find “men,” instead of one man, important. Marriage isn't likely to stop her from strive ing to be the ideal of every man she meets. If it should, and she makes one man her consuming interest in life, she’ll smother him with pos sessiveness, and after a year or two of marriage he'll be wishing to heaven his wife had some other ine terest in life, ! - ” ” 80 IT shouldn't dismay the young men of America to ‘learn that to educated feminine Ameri cans men aren't the number one interest, « Such girls will prove easier to ive with 4han the elinging-vines to whom men are of first importance for the simple reason that a clinge ing-vine has to have somebody to hang onto for support.
